"DOCT0RFNG OLD TINE
n Striking Picture-A Revival of Old
Time SimDIicjtieS.

Time SimplIcJt1cS.
In one of Harper's issues is given very
fine illustration of Roberts celebrated paint
ing, known as "Doctoring Old Time. 1t
represents typical old-timer, with his bel
lows, blowing the dust from all ancient
clock, with it's cords and weights carefully
secured. One of these clocks in this genera
ton is appreciated only as rare relic
The suggestive name, "Doctorlng Old
Time" brings to our mind another version
of the title, used for another purpose, Old
lime Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source, that
one of the enterprising proprietary medicine
firms of the country has been for years IN
vestigating the formulas and medical prepa-
rations used in the beginning ofthis century,
and even before, with view of ascertaining
why people in our great-grandfathers' time
enjoyed heath and physical vigor so sell
dom found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret of
secrets. They fiHd that the prevailing opin-
ion that then existed, that Nature has a
remedy for every existing disorder" was
true, and acting under this be,ief our grand
parents used the common herbs and plants.
Continual trespaSS upon the forest domain,
has made these herbs less abundant, and
has driven them further from civilization,
until they have been discarded as remedial
agents because OF the difficulty of obtaining
them.
H. H. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
Safe Cure, and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, n Y, has been press
ing Investigations in this direction, into the
annals of old family histories until he has
secured some very valuable formulas, from
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
TO be sold by all druggists.
They will, we learn, be known under the
general title of " Warmers Log Cabin Rem
A1i NO
Sarsaparilla," for the blood and liver,
Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy" for
the stomach, etc, " Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption Remedy" a remedy called
Scalpine," for the hair, Log Cabin Ex-
tract" for internal and external use, and an
old valuable discovery for Catarrh, called
Log Cabin Rose Cream" Among the list
is also " Log Cabin Plaster, and " Log
Cabin Liver Pill"
From the number of remedies, it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t Is believed
by many that with these remedies new
era is to dawn upon suffering humanity
and that the close of the nineteenth centu
will see these roots and herbs as com
pounded under the title of Warmers Log
Cabin Remedies, as popular as they were at
its beginning. Although they come in the
form of proprietary medicines, yet they
will be none the less welcome, for suffering
humanity has become tired OF modern doc
toring and the public has great confidence
in any remedies put up by the firm of
which FL. H. Warner is the head The peo-
pie have became suspicious of the effects of
aoctoring with poisonous drugs. Few real
lie the injurious effects following the
prescriptions of many modern physicians.
These effects of poisonous drugs, already
prominent, will become more pronounced
in coming generations. Therefore we can
cordially wish the old-fashioned new rene
dies the best of success.
